Wild Tiger Nails

The other half of 1211 Commonwealth Ave is Jenny’s. Wild Tiger Nails is her nail studio in the same storefront as our shop: one door, two businesses, how we’ve always liked it.

Her hours and her bookings are her own, not the shop’s, so ask for her rather than for Toni. While you wait, Ritual Arts’ shelves next door are always open to browse.

Jenny in her studio, standing by a bookcase of art books and figures, under a framed print of a tiger among roses on the teal wall — Jenny, under the tiger.

The studio: a teal wall lined with rows of nail polish under three framed prints, a glass-block window in the brick wall, and the manicure lamp — The polish wall, and the glass-block window.
